Yeah. I get that. I have had Some Shit (not nearly as impressive a catalogue of Some Shit as you, by the looks of it), but the base thing is that I was weird and kids were mean and I had no friends. Although oddly I think the clinching factor in my recent diagnosis was that I could quite confidently say, and with my parents' backing, I didn't particularly *care* at the time that I had no friends, only that I wished people would leave me alone. So I didn't get fully up to speed with 'adopt a variety of behaviours in attempt to conform, become vulnerable to manipulation' until pre-teen years, and thus tick a couple of boxes for male-typical diagnostics (not enough of them to have been picked up as a child, but some).
